3.73, 4.10, 4.30, or even 4.56. At around $2k, I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze, though, especially with the diesel having plenty of power. I recommend you just drive it and enjoy the truck. Constantly worrying about mileage is a great way to stay perpetually cranky.
Life's too short, not to mention that while mileage costs do add up over time, they are a miniscule percentage of what you just paid for a Lariat and 37" tires/wheels. Just drive and be happy.

Not necessarily. The heavier tires/wheels alone will drag down MPG. Add the height it gets even worse. A (very) general rule of thumb is every 1" of added height reduces MPG by 1.
